I am not a regular reader of this newgroup, so my apologies if this is
a frequently asked question.
We are installing a bunch of IBM PCs on Ethernet, primarily so they can
use PC-NFS to load MS-DOS packages. In addition we want to run telnet
on them so they can access our timesharing systems, rather than use Kermit
and serial lines to terminal servers as we have done in the past.
The obvious security nightmare of PCs passing plaintext passwords over
the ether while their peers run things like Netwatch leads me to my
question: can someone point me at a Kerberised telnet for PCs and a matching
telnetd for SunOS? I would suspect a modified /bin/login is needed as
well, but I do not want to second guess someone's solution. The PC needs
to be able to transparently interwork with both vanilla telnet hosts and
with the Kerberised version.
As usual, answers by email please and I will summarise to the group.
